Factoid: Green Bay Packers
The Packers will have to play without their featured wide receiver, and they’re on the road against a good defense. You would think that would derail their offense.

Around the NFL: Aaron Jones
In a mild surprise, to me at least, the Packers signed Aaron Jones yesterday to a four-year, $48 million contract.
